A sign of the times, I still remember as a kid growing up in the Midwest, just in awe of these Yankees. Guidey's 78' season in particular. Waiting for the sports section to see Guidry get to 10-0, 11-0, etc etc. I realize today we know there are better stats to gauge how effective a pitcher is than wins. But to see a guy make it to July without losing, was fun to track!!
Chris was my fav player! We lived on 161st Walton Ave. We went to all Yankees games. Chris was not underrated! Guidry, Pinella, Nettles, Munson ( God rest his soul) Randolph, Goose, Chambliss and Jackson were a nostalgic team. Believe it. Seriously badass! George Steinbrenner is the best thing that ever happened to the Yankees and let’s NOT forget Billy Martin (God rest them both, too!). I was a young I girl, too but I loved and still love baseball! God Bless The Yankees! Sincerely, Crys, The Song🕊🎶
Ron Guidry was such an awesome pitcher! Reggie was Mr. October and a real clutch player. Chris started with the Indians and I was a fan from that time on.
Daniel Zanier He's very likable.......even disposition. He was an excellent player.....was very mad when the Yankees traded him.. The Yanks paid dearly for that..Watson only had one good season....Chris played many good seasons with the Braves......
Even disposition is how many of his teammates described him. He never got too up or too down, and almost never complained to umps. The Yanks only traded him because they had to give up something to get Rick Cerone to replace Munson. It should be pointed out that Steinb renner never really appreciated Chris to the degree he should have. He also felt that Chris didn't hit enough homers as a left handed hitter in Yankee Stadium. But that wasn't Chris' game. Chris hit the ball where it was pitched. He could drive in 90-95 runs without having to reach 20-25 homers. He never stepped to pull. He was an all fields hitter.
I have to admit I didn't like Guidry when I was a kid. I know he was great, but I was a Don Gullett fan. I guess growing up in the Cold War era, if I liked one guy, then I had to dislike someone else. Guidry was such a great Yankee and even a greater person. He definitely deserved his number retired.
Brandon asked Reggie point blank were there fights like that in the clubhouse - Reggie failed to mention when Cliff Johnson and Goose Gossage fought each other in the clubhouse, and also when Reggie and Billy North went after each other with Oakland.
A beautiful team... for all its flaws... In addition to the 3 greats above, Roy White (understated like Chambliss, and often overlooked, but a superb ballplayer and a great guy), Thurman R.I.P., Catfish R.I.P., Lyle, Gossage, Randolph, Rivers, Nettles, Figueroa, Torres, Piniella, Tidrow... But at this point in my life, though I can argue why this team was so special, throw stats around and what have you, I realize that it's a question of love... The team you grew up with, you love them like your family, and no other team before or since can ever quite match it. It's not rational, but it is deep
The 76-78 team was the one I grew up with ..and I love them immensely...however...if the 78 yankees met up with the 98 yankees...you figure out the rest
When Chris Chambliss first came IN 1974, NOBODY liked him because Fritz Peterson had been traded along with Steve Kline, Freddie Bean, and Tom Buskey. Dick Tidrow was 1-3, finished altogether 12-12, Kline went down with arm problems, Peterson was 9-14 for the Tribe, Cecil Upshaw was 1-6 or 1-7, so once he hit he Homerun over Littel, he was accepted, Reggie 3 homeruns in Game 6, and Guidry was 16-7, but once 25-3 untradeable and they forgot about Rudy May and Larry Gura, all you had to do was see their '76 records!
I can tell you the entire roster of the 1977-78 Yankees but, other than a couple of stars, don't know anything about the current team. Also, can you guys tell that English is Ron Guidry's second language? He grew up speaking French in the bayous of Louisiana.
No I in team it takes everyone plays together as a team greats and all contribute in different ways to achieve the goal of the world series winners like 29 times amazing Yankees
The best eta…WS champs and goat announcers with Bill White, Frank Messer and Rizutto. Nowadays it’s so bad they have a woman announcing. Can’t listen .

thank you
this was a real pleasure to watch
Guidry should get some serious hall of fame consideration.
This was the team I grew up with. Always loved Chambliss. How under-stated he was.
He is a fantastic human being. You won't find one ex-teammate of his that doesn't respect him enormously.
I met Chris...in Toronto......he was with 4 of his team mates.......I asked for his autograph.....he was very nice....down to earth.....Good guy....
I'd love to meet him.

I love these guys! My Heroes.
Reggie’s yogi imitation Is spot on!
Reggie was an incredible baseball player with the Yankees.
Yes
Chris Chambliss really nice guy!

ny yankees are legendary franchise
Brandon asked Reggie point blank were there fights like that in the clubhouse - Reggie failed to mention when Cliff Johnson and Goose Gossage fought each other in the clubhouse, and also when Reggie and Billy North went after each other with Oakland.
He also forgot to mention his little dugout altercation with his manager, Billy Martin.

Chambliss. Roy White. Great players but very underrated. Made this team special.
Many Yankee fans have forgotten what a very good pitcher Ed Figueroa was for the Yanks...Loved those teams from the 70s...
The 76-78 team was the one I grew up with
..and I love them immensely...however...if the 78 yankees met up with the 98 yankees...you figure out the rest
@@jeffsmith2022 Figueroa was the first pitcher in mlb history to wi 20 games in a season that was born in Puerto rico
Don't forget Dent and Paul Blair...both excellent defensive players!!
Yankee catchers- ranked #1 Yogi, #2 Dickey, #3 Munson, #4 Howard, #5 Posada
Tough to argue with that
Nice rankings bro. I agree
1. Girardi 2. Yogi 3. Posada
Wowww MR RON GUIDRY GREAT YANKEE PITCHER
It's not over till it's over remember that I was there I lived it.

The interviewer Charlie Steiner voice of the dodgers since 2005 Before that he was a Yankee broadcaster.

The mention Oscar Gamble,,in my opinion he came later on with Rick Cerone,,Ron Davis,,Dave Rightetti,,,Jesse Bar field,,Dave Winfield
Those teams of the late 70's were no @#$&-+ joke !! They took no prisoners.
Reggie looks emaciated
It's called Getting Old.
yogi the greatest catcher of all time......Bench ..a close second
bench is better
Joe Girardi best catch
@@Slipknot5301
Ed Herrmann
Barry Lyons, by a hair
Mike Zunino supercedes them all
Rachel Robinson is 24K class.
the yanks got both chambliss and nettles from the indians..cleveland got fleeced!
What's Reggie eating?
Not sure but he's obviously hungry...
A Reggie bar!

Sorry old school...Jackson eating a sandwich in a televised interview. I don't think so.
Reggie can do whatever he wants. He earned that.
Reggie stuffing his face. Come on man. Smh
He's hungry. Lay off.
Rudeness
Jeter eating
